Are you dealing with post traumatic stress disorder?

Signs and symptoms

Typically occurring when the afflicted individual is re-experiencing the road traffic accident, combat situation or other traumatic event; trying to avoid memories of or thinking about the car crash or other event, or experiencing high level anxiety related to such an event.

Treatment

Like anxiety or depression, PTSD can be treated. Which treatment is right for any given individual depends to a great deal on the individual, but common treatments include, but are not limited to, medication, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or a combination of both.

Talking to members of the family or close friends, joining a support group, finding a peer mentor or meditating can all help to battle the symptoms of PTSD.

Consequences of PTSD

Often unable to work as a result of their injuries and the effects of PTSD, sufferers often find that dealing with their condition places an incredible financial burden on them and their families. If their condition was caused by a motoring accident for which someone else was responsible, a physical or sexual attack or a combat situation, for instance, this financial burden may be eased a little by claiming for compensation.
